Means is provided for opening and closing the cage by moving the rotatable jaw away from and toward the fixed jaw, respectively. Said means includes a rod that extends through the tube from the handle end to the cage end where it is attached to the movable jaw by a radially-directed link. A user rotates the rod via manual manipulation of a lever attached to the rod near the handle end of the rod. The tube is ornamented with spiral coils would about the tube.
